JD on Chase Burns (May 27, 2026): This is an example of someone who I haven't fully bought into this stuff yet even though his metrics are obviously off the charts. As a side note think about how crazy it is that Chase Burns averages 98 mph on his fastball and that's still two full ticks below Misiorowski's fastball average. The stuff is obviously incredible but when there's another young pitcher out there eclipsing him by two full miles per hour, he's going to have to take a backseat to him for the time being. The command is average but the stuff is exceptional and you can bet on exceptional stuff all day. The only other knock on him is that pitching at Cincinnati might lead to a little bit tougher of an offensive environment than you typically see for a player's home ballpark but not something I'm willing to adjust the rankings for.
JD on Payton Tolle (Jun 3, 2026): Here is a great article on Tolle and how he has dominated so far. Does anyone else feel like he snuck up on us last year? He was not on my radar at all and all of a sudden he is up and dominating in the big leagues with unreal stuff. with a FB that averages 96 and plays up due to his extension, he doesn't need much else to dominate hitters. Kind of reminds me of Schlitter from the left side with his arsenal.
